Alkin = Bauer Filter

[2THDIVR]

Are the Alkin P-21 filter for the W-31 and the Bauer P21 Triplex filters fits most small Bauers the same?
Can I use the Bauer filters in an Alkin?
Lenght and dia are the same.
Thanks for any help.

Hello Scott
I have been using the Alkin aluminum P21 filter in my Bauer Purus triplex filter for a couple of years now without any issues. I believe the Bauer and Alkin p21 filters are the same size, so either should work in your Alkin. I like the ability to repack my own filter to save some money.

Thanks for the info.
Have the aluminum Alkin that I'm repacking.
Just wondering for the future.
There's a $8 difference between the 2 at Filter Techs.

Thanks for the info... I just ordered one pre-packed filter for the Bauer P21/X21 and one for the Alkin P21/X14... The Bauer was $37 and the Alkin was $45... Ordered from Filtertechs. So, I'll have them side by side to compare and will post my results here. I'll be using them on my Alkin Vertical W31.

Just ordered a Bauer filter with an air test kit.
Want to see how good my repacks work.

Got my air test results.
Was wondering how my repack would do.
Came back with better test results than the Alkin filter.
Did get a Bauer filter to test for fitting the Alkin.
